Many smaller manufacturers use distributers as a middleman between them and selling dealers. In my neck of the woods, J.S. Woodhouse and Cummings & Bricker are a couple of the larger ones. They may also distribute to Ohio. You should check with Herd and see who they distribute to, then find a dealer that buys from them. I would be surprised if Herd didn't have several selling dealers in your state.

Go to the Herd website. I do believe they have a "dealer locator". If not, they definately have a "contact us". I'm sure they'll be able to assist you in finding SOMEONE who'll sell you a seeder. I've got 2 of them (1 big, 1 small...don't recall model #s) They are fine products, well worth the effort in finding a local dealer.
Personally, I'd start with a phone call to all your area dealers, especially any with a good AG equipment base. Herd is a VERY big seller. I'd find it hard to believe SOMEONE won't be able to get you one.

Just order direct from Herd
That's what I did.
showed up 3 days later.
Best dang seeder I own or have owned by a long shot. Can't praise it highly enough.
And, was actually cheaper in price than the junky made in china one I replaced.

For a 3 point the M-96 model just can't be beat. Unless you need one of more roubst models. I don't have one yet but that is at the top of my want list.

That m 96 looks like a good deal, I wonder how wide it will spread? That 750 looks like a heavier duty one and might last longer. It might be well worth the extra $500. If I had the money that would be mine, but I'm in the m96 catagory. Would anyone buy something like this to do 20 acres at a time? I was just wonder how much of a pain it would be. Maybe I'll be able to rent one from someone for this year. Then I think I'll pull a bed spring behind evrything to bury the seed a little. MAybe I'll put 3 bedsprings togather so I won't have to make so many trips.

The 750 would be a serious piece of equipment for some big time seeding and fertilizing. I am a small operation and the M96 would last me forever.

I've got a model that's been eliminated from the Herd line-up. It's the M150 or F150 (can't remember the exact model designation) It's essentially the same spreader as the M96, only with a much larger capacity hopper. I've put down truckloads of seed with it. I haven't used it in 3 years, but I wouldn't think of parting with it. Really good piece of equipment!

I called Herd this morning for pricing on a M-96, I was quoted the listed suggested retail price that's on their web site, plus shipping. I had hoped for a little break on pricing.
Is the seeder really that much better than the others to justify the cost. With shipping your looking at over $500.00 to my door and are there any other seeder/spreaders that people would suggest?
